Smelly!?@#

Hi guys, for the last three weeks my body has been producing this funky smell which the doctors have told me is due to fat burning!! It is such unpleasant smell that is making me lose appetite and ending up throwing up aand feel miserable. Is there a cure? the ordor is strong after taking shower and if I sweat (I am in MN and is cold as hell!!) Please help

You know I've experienced a strong odor at times. It smells like a bad case of gas but I smell it at times when I shouldn't.

It may be Ketosis, The process of the body burning large amounts of fat. I had the worst bad breath when i was on the atkins diet from ketosis but i have never herd of it producing a body odor. good luck with it and use lots of deodorant.

Hi Amani, i love your name. i have had the same problem some days. i told my doctor and some of my local peers that have had the surgery about it, and they say it is normal. it will go away in time. i wouldn't worry too much about it, but it is hard to especially when you just take a shower. that happened to me just the other day. yuck. lol. but it's nothing that is your fault. it's just that old fat burning away. you take care and keep your head up. everything is going to be fine.

Hi Smelly!?@#, I am 27 days post-op and I have given myself the nickname Peppy La Peu. I'd take a shower and do the usual with the deoderant.Twenty minutes later I smelt the skunk (Peppy) and I remind myself I will be another 25lbs. lighter in another month, the fat needs to burn. One powder that works well is called Caldesene and if your feet are bothering you try baking soda. Good luck.
